It has been argued that there have only been two really great UK Prime Ministers since 1945: Clement Attlee and Margaret Thatcher, as both brought about profound changes in UK society, for better or worse.......the rest are merely 'time-servers' ..... Would you agree ?

Yes - no doubt as to who, in my opinion, did the greatest good though.

I think there have been only two truly great and good governments in the last hundred odd years - the Liberal administration of 1906 and the 1945 Labour government.

I honestly did believe, or was it simply naive hope, that TB would be a force for good. I was wrong - though the alternative would have been even worse.

I think there are many (students of the Open University, gays, women with unwanted pregnancies, people who might have found themselves on death row etc) who might disagree that Harold Wilson's first two terms made no difference to society. Though for many of us, he's just that bloke with the pipe who made a really terrible chat show host.

I agree with you their Fell, I know People who even now regard Maggie in terms and words that I dare not show on a Family forum, but the alternatives being Michael Foot and then Neil Kinnock at the time, many People had a problem with them.

I've read recently that the Labour Party Election Manifesto of 1983 was a 'Suicide note', and having read it (it's on the Web) I can see why!

The Guardian is giving away a Godzilla poster on Friday and dvd on Saturday 19th April. It's not entirely clear which one it is but from the picture on the front page of yesterday's paper, I'm assuming it's this one. Not British, but maybe of interest to some people.

Better than Escape To Athena, whatever it is....

The poster was in last Sunday's Observer here in the East, and it is for the excellent 1954 original. Even if you don't like monster films, get a copy of this film 'cos it is 'king brilliant!

As it has Roger Moore as a German I think it qualifies as a (very) guilty pleasure!
